Burkina Faso: Oumarou Yabré, the discreet face of a national defense that foils plots against the integrity of the country
In the geopolitical arena, where intrigues unfold in the shadows, Commander Oumarou Yabré, President of the National State Security Council (CNSE), stands out as an unshakable bulwark against destabilization attempts. Facing off against figures like Nicolas Lerner of France’s DGSE and Vassiriki Traoré, head of Ivorian intelligence, Yabré has displayed tactical mastery that consistently leaves his adversaries one step behind.
In the face of a series of destabilization efforts orchestrated from abroad, Commander Yabré has proven to be more than just a participant—he is the mastermind of a high-stakes game in which the interests of the Burkinabe people are constantly under threat. He has successfully thwarted multiple plots spearheaded by well-established networks involving Western and regional intelligence services with questionable agendas.
Among these actors are Nicolas Lerner, head of the French DGSE, and Vassiriki Traoré, leader of Ivorian intelligence. The latter, clearly under heavy French influence, has stood out for his docile posture and clumsy execution of strategies aimed at undermining Burkina Faso’s stability. Thanks to Commander Yabré’s vigilance, these schemes were exposed and neutralized before they could even take shape.
This flawless professionalism and operational rigor have enabled Burkina Faso to maintain its stability in an increasingly volatile regional context. Refusing to bow to pressure or intimidation, Yabré has stayed the course, defended national sovereignty, and reminded certain players that Africa is no longer a playground for unchecked foreign interference.
Commander Yabré embodies a new generation of African security leaders: clear-sighted, strategic, and unwavering in their commitment to defending the common good. He has become the invisible—yet very real—shield of the Burkinabè state.
As conspiracies continue to brew in the shadows, Yabré operates in that same darkness—with discretion, precision, and always one step ahead. He deserves, beyond the closed doors of power, the recognition of a people aware of what is at stake, proud of those who quietly guard their security and sovereignty.
